This volume presents research on the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Usability Engineering within the context of medicine and healthcare. It comprises selected papers from the 3rd Symposium of the Workgroup Human-Computer Interaction and Usability Engineering of the Austrian Computer Society (USAB 2007), held in Graz, Austria. The proceedings explore how to design and evaluate user interfaces and systems to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction of users in healthcare settings.

The proceedings from the USAB 2007 symposium offer a focused collection of research addressing critical aspects of human-computer interaction and usability in the medical field. The papers likely present a range of technical and theoretical contributions aimed at improving the design and implementation of healthcare technologies. The collection serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to understand the current state and future directions of HCI and usability in medicine and healthcare.
